The Pandemonium That Wasn't

Record breaking sales? Not so much. Christmas shoppers must have been buying tech toys and door busters, because they weren't buying books. This was the most anemic "black Friday" ever. We never saw a line form beyond 3 or 4 people, it was beyond freaky. I'm speechless and a bit worried, Wal-Mart has cut their projections in half, yes, the almighty Wal-Mart. There's your trend right there. I'm thinking the week before Christmas should be a good dose of hell, that is if people concede to acquiring more debt.

Observances

1.) When I have a man in my life, I'm thin. When I don't have a significant other, I'm lil' miss pudgy *gag* wubby. I've been fat along time. :D

2.) Today I bought some underwear that comes up over the belly to give the appearance of a flat tummy, now if that ain't some sexy shit I don't know what is.

3.) When I'm exhausted I tend to babble about nosensical shit, like my super sized granny-panties *sizzle* =P

4.) I believe that my Milkshake may have curdled.

And there you have it, we're ready for the shoppers on Friday...basically all we have to say is "I'm sorry, the Da Vinci Code is NOT in paperback, despite what you may have seen at the airport, muthafucka..". Okay, so I don't think the whole "muthafucka" shit would be in the spiel, who can say? I'm tired. G'night

I'll Have A Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Light On the Mother Of God, Please

HOLLYWOOD, Florida (AP) -- A woman who said her 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich bore the image of the Virgin Mary will be getting a lot more bread after the item sold for $28,000 on eBay.

The only miracle here is that the sucker didn't mold, perhaps they used some Miracle Whip or say...Wonder Bread...tasty.

My Paradigm Is Shifting And It Tickles

I do love "Buzz Words & Phrases" if you haven't noticed them, you will. Everybody is into branding themselves like a God damned piece of cattle. Everybody is 'ramping up', dare not to 'ramp down', you'll fall on your ass. Buzz word and phrases simplify the rhetoric and help get the message across to the simple folk of the business world. Take these simple phrases/buzz words and implement them into the Political world and the tipping point of the phrase or word has been reached.

The Democrats are now trying to brand themselves and its about time, well as long as its a positive brand. I know people are sick and tired of reading why we lost the election, sniveling excuses can be amusing at times, but like the author of the piece in the link above says; "We have to get marketing. Get the moans and groans out now, because this is how you win, and I don't wanna hear it.". Okay, fine, Dems will ramp up the positive and eliminate the negative. I've always said that, but unfortunately, not everyone listens to me, they should, but they don't and that's just fucking ignorant, heh.

LOL Clouds & WTF Planes

This little clip cracked me up. Using internet slang for warfare, good times. The music isn't my cup of tea but its effective for the clip. I do admit that I just recently attended a show of similar music, a few of us from the store went to support our friend Jorge's band Barefoot Barnacle at Doc Maynard's in Pioneer Square on Thursday. Barefoot Barnacle is instrumental group of fun loving thrash (kinda) metal, but its crunchy as fuck with a twist, a DEVO type posturing twist. I LOL'd and WTF'd a lot that evening and the following day as I recovered.=P

While recovering from entirely too much beer, I thought I might get some blogging done yesterday, but as my luck would have it, my computer had an episode of the Blue Screen Of Death. What did I do? What did I download? It's a brand new computer, fuck. A call to my brother Matt and a quick trip to Best Buy @ 9:30 in the evening fixed the problem--memory--I had me some bad memory.

Washington State is in the midst of a recount for Governor and if the numbers hold we'll have our first Republican in that office in 24 years, this is a little numbing and since November 2 most Democrats are still numb, its like we walked through a field of stinging nettles and are still walking, ugh.

I'm off to the Christmas holiday thingy at the Convention center downtown, when I return I'll be so full of the Christmas Spirit I'll shit tinsel for weeks, now that's a WTF & a LOL on the house people. Have a super Saturday!

Urban Islands

Anybody that lives in a city with a decent weekly freebie rag has probably seen this by now, but those who don't really need to be exposed to it. Like all of us good liberals, the editors of seattle's The Stranger were pissed at the results of the election. But instead of moving to Canada like the defeatists or moving to the right like the DLC, they came up with a new manifesto for the American liberal.

It's time to state something that we've felt for a long time but have been too polite to say out loud: Liberals, progressives, and Democrats do not live in a country that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico. We live on a chain of islands. We are citizens of the Urban Archipelago, the United Cities of America. We live on islands of sanity, liberalism, and compassion--New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, St. Louis, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and on and on...citizens of the Urban Archipelago reject heartland "values" like xenophobia, sexism, racism, and homophobia, as well as the more intolerant strains of Christianity that have taken root in this country. And we are the real Americans. They--rural, red-state voters, the denizens of the exurbs--are not real Americans. They are rubes, fools, and hate-mongers.

Of course, the piece is total hyperbole--but what's wrong with that? It's very theraputic. And for all it's problems, its thesis is fundementally right. The Democrats shouldn't move to the center (read: to the center-right) like conventional wisdom says. They should be cultivating the base. Most people live in cities. Most people are receptive to progressive politics. It's just a matter of getting them out to the polls.

Oh Yeah, I Have A Blog

Dear Blog,

I know I've been neglecting you, but its not you, its me. With Thanksgiving 10 days out, the workload has been heavy. People have started shopping already, so when I get home the last thing I'm thinking about is you. I uncontrolably nap when I get home, and the computer makes me think of work and thats the last thing I want to think about after a long day of mall dwellers all up in my face.

Don't get me wrong, I love you, I just won't be as attentive until January, you know it happens this way every year, don't take it personally, exhaustion takes over and I'm sorry to say your the last thing I think about. I know, I know, you think its because the election is over and since my candidate didn't win you think I'm all pissy about that and taking it out on you. Not true, people do stupid shit daily, and gosh golly gee its fun to spew about. There are stupid meme's to share, stupid pictures to share, just know dear blog--that it will be sporadic--at least until January.

I know, with patience, we'll make it through the next 40 odd days and things will be right again.

Love,
Cupie

Let There Be Spew!

What a bad blogger I've been this week, Tara Reid unknowingly flashed her bulbous bawdy breast and I was too exhausted to share. If your at work don't click this link to see Tara's elliptical areola (that's some funky shit). I hate when I'm in front of the paparrazi and my breast decides to say hello.

Yasser Arafat died, I slept, the middle east will now have peace, LMFAO, but hey the President is optimistic. What the hell, optimism in infectious, and I'm optimistic that more Americans will die for peace in the God damned Middle East.

Amazon Theater: When your tired of browsing for books at Amazon, you can now waste more precious time watching exclusive short flicks made just for the almighty A. I just watched Minnie Driver as an extra strength aspirin chewing executive and I'm thinking, they should have had her chew some Midol. Your not really a woman until you've chomped on a few Midol. Your not really an Amazon slut if you haven't watched the flick yet. ;)

Fahrenheit 9/11 Ver 2.0? This ought to piss off a few people, yippeeeeee!

Pee Wee Herman Returns!!! There is a God and he's probably got a boner now. LMFAO (How wrong am I? =P) Alrighty, welcome back Pee Wee!

Doctor Discovers the 'Orgasmatron'
While Dr. Stuart Meloy was working on a new device to treat chronic pain, he was surprised to discover it could also bring pleasure to his female patients.

This should help with the back pains, yeah, that's the ticket, I want one of these for my back problems, yeah. [via: Dave Barry]

More Spew later....

Ack, Thwapft....

Mondays couldn't be more fun. They found another lump in my assistants breast, it could be nothing (and God willing it is) we'll find out next week. So as a measure of sympathizing empathy, I bent over to pick up a piece of paper and my back went out....good times. Last year at this time, I couldn't walk, my assistant was undergoing chemo for her other breast. When I returned home last night I chewed billions and billions of ibuprophen and sat with my heating pad, did my back exercise, hobbled about with my can (so sexy), went to bed with my trusty ice-pack and today I can stand upright again, but it burns like mudderfugginghell this morning. The Human Body is miraculous and defiant. Ow.

It is on.

If you aren't reading David Rees' comic Get Your War On by now, what the hell is wrong with you? He has a...er...poem on his site now that is suprisingly moving.


CHIN UP.
We're smarter than those motherfuckers.
We can learn more quickly than those motherfuckers.
We can be more ruthless than those motherfuckers.
We can be some six-million-dollar motherfuckers ourselves.

Chin up.
We're more American than those motherfuckers.
We're more responsible than those motherfuckers.
We're more compassionate than those motherfuckers.
Hell, our atheists are more Christian than their Bible-thumpin' motherfuckers.
There's an election in two years.
There's nothing we can't do.
Chin up. Because it's on, motherfuckers. It is on.



A few days after the election I'm still distraught. But it's quickly turning into motivating anger. We can't give up on America, but we can't trust our politicians to protect it either. The blogger phenomenom was a great start in spreading the truth about their lies, but it obviously isn't enough. We need to be out there every-damn-day harping about every minor/major fuck up. And god know's there will be a ton. Ignorance rules in this country now. We can either let it completely take over the red states and quickly turn the blue states some crazy ass shade of violet, or we can get out there and fight. We shouldn't be the ones that have to leave. We are the ones intune with the rest of the world. Let the crazy motherfuckers go create Jesusland in some god forsaken hell hole. This is our damn country, and there isn't a thing they can do that we can't overcome.

Dissent Is The New Pink

Strike a pose ladies and gentlemen of the United States we are shaking ours asses to the cool sounds of dissent. Unifying America? How about some muthafuckin' respect first up. President Bush, I implore that you and your staff stop using the word "Liberal" like it causes the plague. Liberals don't have cooties, mmmkay? Liberals are NOT a social disease. You can't unify a group if you continue to belittle and demean a Liberal's belief structure. And that works both ways my friends.

lib·er·al (lbr-l, lbrl)adj.

Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism.
Liberal Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism, especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States.

Nice. Not a bad thing at all!
con·ser·va·tive (kn-sûrv-tv)adj.
Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.
Traditional or restrained in style: a conservative dark suit.
Moderate; cautious: a conservative estimate.

Of or relating to the political philosophy of conservatism.
Belonging to a conservative party, group, or movement.
Conservative Of or belonging to the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom or the Progressive Conservative Party in Canada.
Conservative Of or adhering to Conservative Judaism.
Tending to conserve; preservative: the conservative use of natural resources.

Mmmmkay, a little static, but not a bad thing.
libcon [lib'-kahn] n. 1. a leftist who seeks to conserve what "conservatives" desire to destroy, to wit: social security, funded public education, the environment, scientific objectivity, social welfare, equal rights for women, the Constitution of the United States, strategic alliances, the minimum wage, gun control, and child labor laws. 2. any such person attacked on Fox News. 3. [informal] a dangerous radical.—CHARLIE BAXTER [via: The Future Dictionary Of America

The future middle ground? Still dancing?
dem·o·crat(dm-krt)n.
An advocate of democracy.
Democrat A member of the Democratic Party.

No where does it mention moonbat or asshat, surprised?
re·pub·li·can (r-pbl-kn) adj.
Of, relating to, or characteristic of a republic.
Favoring a republic as the best form of government.
Republican Of, relating to, characteristic of, or belonging to the Republican Party of the United States.

Nope, no mention or indication of radical servants for God, don't see it.

The United States is all of the above with a sprinkling of other beliefs. So, I ask you Mr. President, to start using the word 'liberal' as the positive word it was intended to be. With respect, comes respect, you silly facist. ;)

Liberalism is dead. Long live Liberalism.

Last night was hard. I have never felt so powerless and frightend in my life. I fear for this country; I fear for this world. I've been numb, literally numb for hours. How could we have lost? How can so many people ignore so much evil? Last night I was disgusted with my country. It went beyond disappoint to utter contempt and revulsion.I never want to feel that again.

What can we as liberals do, though? Nothing. I hate it, but that's how it is. Liberalism in America died last night. The Democratic party as we know it is gone. They will move further and further to the right until we have a choice between the center right and the far right. I can not deal with that. I am ready to give up. Let the fuckers have their country. As of last night, my single goal in life has become that of expatriation. I don't care where, I just want out. Some will accuse me of giving up, but to them I say you can only be unwelcome in your home for so long before you realize it isn't your home after all.

Election 2004

I don't know what to say at this point. Kerry hasn't conceded yet, although it could happen at any time. There wasn't an air of celebration when I went to bed at 11 last night, it was an air of "what have we done?", I flipped around to all the news channels, it was morose at best. Beaten down by a horrifically brutal election, a little more than half the country thought it would be better to keep a man who's administration has lied to us. Guess what kids...He's Just Not That In to you and we'll all find that out soon enough. Could it get any worse? Sure...the Senate has more repubs than before....guess what? Their just Not That Into You. Sure your money was good enough to help them run, but will their answer your calls? I am a proud Liberal and will fight to my fucking death before I'll let this administration continue to bash my beliefs and what I stand for.

It was just announced that Kerry is going to concede to President Bush, my frustration is endless. The bed has been made and now we all get to lay in it. America, your a little Girlie man, and your bitch boyfriend is NOT THAT INTO YOU. Prove me otherwise, I doubt you can. I'm truly disappointed, but not disheartened, and by that I mean Clinton 2008. Remember this: Terrorism has ALWAYS been a threat; some Presidents were just better at keeping them at bay. Get use to the threats and the fears, get use to your diminishing civil liberties the next four years hold little optimism and more deciet, good times. FUCK FUCK FUCK.
